Reviews & Ratings for Crimson Trace 2 Series 1-4x24mm Tactical Rifle Scope — 2 reviews — Page 1

I would like to correct an error in my last review. I stated the flip up cap on the front cannot be removed without cutting it off due to a lip on the objective end of the scope. That is NOT true. What led me to say that was my covers were on VERY tight and did not budge initially. So, in correction, they do come off and the tube of the scope is just like any other.

I purchased two of these from a site that had a BOGO sale. Both arrived factory sealed/new. They both came with a battery, allen wrench, flip-up caps(already installed), cloth and CT sticker. Here's my thoughts:

-Fit/Finish: One scope seemed to have a more 'fresh/sleeker' finish/look to it over the other and the magnification ring was not as stiff on it as the other. Looking through the objective end of the scope I noticed the scope that didn't have as fresh of finish to it had some anodizing starting peel on the inside of the scope, so I plan to send that one back to CT(will update my experience with that if it goes bad).

These CT's are my only LPVO's under 1-6, so I don't know if that's it or not either.

-Reticle: It's pretty basic, and it should work with a variety of applications. It has some pretty plane jane hold over marks, so it'll be up to you to figure those out for YOUR application. They did make a hole in the center dot for more precise shots, but keep in mind this a 1-4 and not a long range precision geared optic. I really wanted a Steiner 1-4 for the reticle, but I'm hooked on front focal plane which pulled me to this scope.

Turrets: Turrets on both scopes are the same. Th...
